چکیده

We used Bland Altman plots to compare agreement between a self-report diary and five different non-wear time algorithms [an algorithm that uses ≥60 min of consecutive zeroes (Troiano) and four variations of an algorithm that uses ≥90 min of consecutive zeroes to define a non-wear period] for estimating community-dwelling older adults' (n = 106) sedentary behaviour and wear time (min/day) as measured by accelerometry. We found that the Troiano algorithm may overestimate sedentary behaviour and wear time by ≥30 min/day. Algorithms that use ≥90 min of continuous zeroes more closely approximate participants' sedentary behaviour and wear time. Across the self-report diary vs. ≥90 min algorithm comparisons, mean differences ranged between -4.4 to 8.1 min/day for estimates of sedentary behaviour and between -10.8 to 1.0 min/day for estimates of wear time; all 95% confidence intervals for mean differences crossed zero. We also found that 95% limits of agreement were wide for all comparisons, highlighting the large variation in estimates of sedentary behaviour and wear time. Given the importance of reducing sedentary behaviour and encouraging physical activity for older adult health, we conclude that it is critical to establish accurate approaches for measurement.

Classification of accelerometer wear and non-wear events in seconds for monitoring free-living physical activity

OBJECTIVE To classify wear and non-wear time of accelerometer data for accurately quantifying physical activity in public health or population level research. DESIGN A bi-moving-window-based approach was used to combine acceleration and skin temperature data to identify wear and non-wear time events in triaxial accelerometer data that monitor physical activity. SETTING Local residents in Sw...

Accelerometer data reduction in adolescents: effects on sample retention and bias

BACKGROUND Accelerometry is increasingly being recognized as an accurate and reliable method to assess free-living physical activity (PA) in children and adolescents. However, accelerometer data reduction criteria remain inconsistent, and the consequences of excluding participants in for example intervention studies are not well described. In this study, we investigated how different data reduc...

Older adults’ reporting of specific sedentary behaviors: validity and reliability

BACKGROUND Previous questionnaires targeting older adults' sedentary time have underestimated total sedentary time, possibly by not including all relevant specific sedentary behaviors. The current study aimed to investigate the criterion validity and test-retest reliability of a new questionnaire assessing a comprehensive set of sedentary behaviors. Additionally, we examined whether the criteri...
